SPEAK UP!

Another reviewer commented on the sloth-like pace of this Drama, but I think they exaggerated - continental plates move faster than the first 10 episodes of this Drama :)

The incredible slowness was one example of the "arty" prentensions of the Drama, where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENING is apparently proof that it's REALLY DEEP AND THOUGHTFUL. It's REALLY not.

The whole core of the Drama is not actually about "healing" or "forgiveness" or "letting go", it's much simpler than that - USE YOUR DAM WORDS PEOPLE! Sixteen episodes that could have been 16 minutes if ANYBODY spoke to ANYBODY else, EVAH. Tedious and tired, the main storyline was indeed a powerful cure for insomnia. So why did I score it as high as 6.5?

Because Lim Hwi was a LOT of fun, bright, refreshing self-assured and down to earth. Her whiny, mopy, self-obsessed silent oppa could definitely have benefitted from being more like her. And the Jang Woo/ Eun Shil arc was also fun. For elements like that, I was generous.
